2 problems in iWeb - file name & unwanted folder at server.

Question

I've been using RapidWeaver but now want to use iWeb for a new site for the first time and have encountered 2 problems.
(1) I need to change the index file of the site to index.php from index.html. How can I do that? It can be done easily in RW in the Page Inspector but I can't seem to find any way in iWeb to get to the file name. I have to go to the server directly and edit it there via my account control panel.
(2) When I upload the site files via FTP it creates a new folder in the site folder at the server... so instead of www.sitename.com being the url, it creates www.sitename.com/sitename/ which I can't find a way to stop happening, and it's an unnecessary added complication to original url.
Any help appreciated, thank you in advance.

After publishing you can change the extension.
